DETOURS*

From northbound I-25: For points west of I-25, exit I-25 at Uintah, west on Uintah to Chestnut, north on Chestnut to Fillmore OR exit I-25 at Garden of the Gods Road, west on Garden of the Gods to Centennial Boulevard, south on Centennial to Fillmore.

From westbound Fillmore, east of I-25: Drivers who want to access northbound I-25 should go north on Nevada Avenue to Garden of the Gods Road, west on Garden of the Gods to I-25 OR continue north on Nevada to its junction with I-25 at Rockrimmon Boulevard. Drivers wanting to access southbound I-25 are STRONGLY ENCOURGED to travel south on Nevada Avenue and access southbound I-25 at Uintah Street, Bijou Street or at the Nevada/Tejon Interchange. CDOT is recommending that southbound travelers avoid the Garden of the Gods Interchange due to the high amount of traffic at that location.

The intersection work is part of a Colorado Department of Transportation interchange reconstruction project. Completion is scheduled for summer 2016.
